    nac's book review was featured in The Green Glass Sea.
    Dewey Kerrigan doesn’t exactly fit in. She builds radios and gadgets out of junk, and one of her legs is shorter than the other, so she walks funny. But she doesn’t really care. All she needs- and wants- is her father, a brilliant scientist who is off working on some secret government project. So when Dewey finally gets to go live with her father, she is excited, even though no one will tell her where she is going to live. Dewey arrives at the hill, where scientists from all over the country have gathered to work on a top secret government gadget to stop the war. Dewey loves that she is surrounded by geniuses, lives close to the dump for collecting junk, and best of all, lives with her father. And then there’s Suze, who longs to be accepted with other kids at the Hill, and makes fun of Dewey to gain favor. But Suze and Dewey have a lot more in common than they might think, and soon their friendship blossoms. And in the midst of a crisis and sorrow, who better to be there than a friend? I loved the way the author was able to make me feel sympathy for the character’s emotions and situation, and I couldn’t put the book down.

    Another interesting Easter tradition: In the country of Honduras, the people celebrate Samana Santa, which is Spanish for, Holy Week. This the week before Easter. Samana Santa is kind of like a spring break, with a vacation from school and work, and celebrating with family and friends. They end Samana Santa by getting up early to watch the sunrise on Easter morning which signifies the start of the third day and Jesus' resurrection.

    I really like animals, but adorable animals are 100 times better. And I think my three sisters (and MAYBE my three brothers) would REALLY like this. I'm pretty sure it would make my youngest sister scream, because she does that when she's really excited. Thanks for this opportunity and congratulations to all the future winners (I hope I'm one of them).

    Yeah I have to admit I'm mostly entering for my younger sisters, because they would really REALLY enjoy this.

    I can't believe a cat actually eats fruity pebbles. My cat sure doesn't.

    I have one book from this series and I love it. My siblings and I read it and couldn't put it down. All the clues and puzzles are fascinating. Thanks for hosting this giveaway! (And congratulations to all the future winners, I hope I'm among you!)
